Phone Message

Hubby called me up and left a voicemail around 2:30 today telling me that the principal from St. Matt's called and would like to meet with me. Unfornately, I did not check my phone until around 3:30 because I was in a conference. However I got the number and phoned St. Matt's and got no answer. When I came home and listened to the message, she said I could call her or write e-mail her. So I just now typed off an e-mail.

Since Thursday's are my crappy days I have no time to call her. My secretary suggested I call her at 7:45ish in the morning. But I think they start school at 7:50 or some odd time. So I figured e-mail would be the quickest way. I told her that I would be able to meet with her on Tuesday afternoon because I have a sub the entire day because of the ISTEP workshop I have to go to in the morning. Plus I took the afternoon off because it makes no sense for me to drive to Plymouth for about three hours and then turn around and come home when gas is 3.75 a gallon! So I took a personal day in the afternoon. So lets home she can get together then.

Then again I shouldn't get my hopes up too high. Uggh, I hate the interviewing process.

my ode to randomness

My brain is jumping from one subject to another, I figured I might as well share because it seems as if I cannot keep things straight at the moment:

~I set a date for the spa party...June 27 and I come to find out that we also get a limo ride to and from the spa!

~I have made the reservations for the hotel room for San Antonio in July. My cousin James assured me that the site between the hotel and the reception were literally like two parking lots away....better for the drunks to stagger back ;D

~I finished my book called Firefly Lane. I started last week and somehow I laid around all weekend and read, read, and read! I just finished it last night and cried buckets!

~While wandering Walmart tonight, waiting for prescriptions to be filled, I found out that a slice of carrot cake has 720 calories. I put that sucker back on the shelf and opted for the lower calorie slice of cheesecake! :D

~My sister has informed me that when school is out we are doing yoga at 10 am at the Fitness here on my side of town. Lucky me!

~I am in desperate need of a haircut. I really would like to go short with layers and I am toying with the idea of dying it a light brown. But I know I would never go ahead with a color change...too chicken although hubby would LOVE it!

~Rosie's kitties left us on Saturday and Sunday of last week. So I now officially have the orginal foursome!

~I have to go to a meeting for ISTEP next Tuesday...I love it when the principal throws things at you at the last minute and Tuesdays are my good days, why couldn't it be a Thursday when I have the little angels up until 2:30 and then they leave me for computer for 20 minutes. Blah!

~Speaking of principals, mine had me sign an intent to transfer form today. I haven't heard anything from the other school yet and she is having me sign things. She assured me that she was not trying to push me out the door because she would rather keep me. She also told me she called the other principal today, and that principal has not yet gotten around to calling people. But the principal told my princiapl that a former parent has talked to her about me since they are at St. Matt's now. So it sounds promising!

Penguins

I have a fettish with penguins. My mousepad has penguins, I have a pillow on my couch with penguins, along with other itmes in my house. I just LOVE them! So when I read this story and saw this picture I just couldn't help but smile!

I Just LOVE Spring!

So I was walking around the house tonight and I could not but help admire my flowers! Last spring, we had a cold snap after it was warm and it meant that my poor azalea bush just died and I did not get to enjoy the beautiful flowers that it produces since the dang thing only opens up once a year. So I am enjoying it this year! So I am sharing with everybody the beauty of SPRING! Enjoy!!!

No excuse

Sorry I wish I had a wonderful reason for not blogging, but I don't. Well I did have an excuse this weekend because I was cleaning my house from side to side. I don't have a top to bottom to clean--no second floor :o) I had a Mary Kay party on Sunday and had a good time. So other than that, I have been enjoying the wonderful weather and not working out. I have no motivation at the moment except to do nothing.

I am quickly running over to my parents tonight to find a worksheet that I made back when I was student teaching. I am thinking about doing a tangram lesson with the students tomorrow because Friday afternoons are just yucky because I am mentally finished teaching and dealing with students at 1:45, too bad school doesn't let out until 3. So tangrams should keep them busy for quite awhile and then I can have them make their own shapes and then write something about it.

But I will share the new addition that my parents got last week. Meet Bosco:


He is a 3 year old Shepard something. Their other dog was hit by a car about a month ago and Stella (the other outside dog) was feeling lonely. So we found this dog at www.Petfinder.com. He was adopted through the Mixed Up Mutts program out of the next county over.

The totally awesome part is that he comes already trained because he was in the Prison Tails program that this organization sponsors. Basically Bosco has spent time in the Prison learning obedience training. Certain prisoners are picked for this program and the prisoners work with the dogs and keep daily journals about what was done. Bosco unfortunately went through 3 trainers because he is a little on the hyper side. But he is enjoying himself, although Maya (Laura's dog) isn't too happy to share part of her house and yard with him. But eventually she will accept him.
